Appendix A - CSC400 Rev 1D Technical Specifications
General Notes:
- All components on the CSC400 Controller are RoHS compliant.
Modbus Notes:
- Receivers are designed to fail-safe to a logic high output state if inputs (terminals A and B) are left un-driven or
shorted. If the bus is un-driven for long periods of time, the receivers are designed to not require line polarization on
the bus (adding a pullup resistor to “A” and a pulldown resistor to “B”). Line polarization may be enabled (via the
two DIP switches on the top of the CSC400 Controller's Modbus DIP switches (4 half-pitch DIP switches)) for use
with other devices on the same RS-485 bus.
- Drivers are protected from excess current flow caused by bus contention or output short-circuits by both an internal
current limit and a thermal-overload shutdown.
- RS-485 inputs (terminals A and B) are protected against ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) events up to +/- 15kV (Air-
Gap and Human Body Model) and up to +/- 8kV Contact Discharge (IEC61000-4-2).
